The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Twenty-One
It was later in the day, Austin was in the kitchen cooking dinner while I was slowly starting to fix the house. I say slowly as my arms were still hurting, but I refused to stay in this house if it looked as though a tornado had gone through it. I walk over to the mantle piece, picking up the broken photo of Roman, Austin and me. It was taken around two years ago, we had just gone on a holiday up north and the weather was so nice. It was the first day Austin and I actually got along, which is why a photo was taken.With a tiny sigh, I take the photo out of the broken picture frame which goes in the bin. Before I could dwell more on the past, my phone that was sat on the counter makes a text noise. As Austin was closer, he picks it up thankfully, only able to see the name.“A text from Jacob” he tells me which instantly makes my eyes grow wide, I place the photo back down before making my way over to Austin. “Who’s Jacob?” He asks as he hands me over the phone, while I click on the mes

Jacob and I spoke for a few hours, at first it was hard to decode what he was trying to say without actually saying it. But after awhile, it became easy and I feel like we got somewhere. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still terrified that Markus might find out where I don’t even want to imagine what he’d do, but I’m less alarmed than I was before I spoke to Jacob today.He told me to keep my head down and focus on staying alive, at first I thought he was being dramatic but I knew how Markus was. He said it was good I hadn’t been around Markus much, apparently, he’s on this destructive rampage right now. This only worried me due to Austin being around him constantly, but I knew how important Austin was for Markus’s business so he couldn’t do anything that bad to him. I tried to make him explain to me what he meant by destructive rampage, but he told me as I have to be around Markus a lot he didn’t want to scare him. But him telling me that alone, only scared me more!Just before he left he ga

It’s been a week since I had that meeting with Jacob, it was finally time for me to get back to work. My face had somewhat healed, it wasn’t as bruised anymore but the cuts and gashes were still there. My boss did tell me I can have more time off, but honestly, I needed to get out the house and allow my mind to think about others things. Sitting in the house all day allowed thoughts of Markus, worrying about everything with Jacob but also, the memory of the attack to consume my mind.Austin was also somewhat against the idea, he told me I could quit my job all together and he’d take care of everything. I thanked him for his kind offer, but told him I definitely cannot quit my job and how would we explain that to Roman when he got back? He kept telling me he’d sort it but I still shook my head, I liked my job in a sense and I wasn’t about to just quit on the spot.Austin would have dropped me off to work but he told me he had to leave really early, he had some business to attend to tha

Markus was now sat at the counter eating his food, for whatever reason he always decides to eat there. There were many tables around which would be so much better to eat at, but he always takes up the counter! I knew this was to be close to me more, the only time I’m away from the counter is when I’m cleaning tables off. After Brooke and I’s little conversation, I would see her sending me worried looks which I’d have to ignore.I had just taken someone’s order when I hear Markus sigh, as I look over I see he had finished eating and was pulling his wallet out to pay. Thankfully, this little encounter was drawing to a close!“The food here never fails to impress me” he says whilst handing me the money, I send him a smile opening the register before handing him his change. “Oh before I forget, I want you and Austin to join me in a little meet up this weekend, it’s with some high up members in my company” he tells me which does make worry start to feel my body, last time I went anywhere w

In no time, I was walking through the door finally arriving home. The walk this time around was a little bit more stressful, there were strong winds that nearly blew me into the road! But also, I couldn’t stop thinking about this meet up that Austin and I need to attend, what crazy situations is Markus planning for us this time?! But also, what is Jacob going to make me do when I get there? I know this is the right thing to do and it’ll free us from Markus in the end, but I can’t help but worry for what the future holds.I place my coat and bag by the door before walking into the main part of the apartment, where I spot Austin fast asleep on the sofa. A smile makes its way onto my lips looking over at him, this is a sight I haven’t saw for awhile. Back before all of this happened, whenever I’d come home I would find Austin asleep on the sofa. At the time, I’d think this was so annoying and complain how lazy he was. But now I know him better and know what he does in the day for Markus,

I was soon walking back into the apartment, I was hoping Austin wouldn’t ask too many questions on why I took so long. I wasn’t that long, but it definitely took longer than taking a bin out should take. As I walk into the kitchen I see Austin wasn’t at the table anymore, but as at the sink cleaning all the mess up.“I could have done that” I say pointing to what he was doing, I know he’ll do a good job at the washing up but I’m the one that cooked, I made the mess I should be the one to clean it.“I can handle it, you cooked so it’s only right that I wash up. Go and eat your food before it gets cold” he tells me with a look, I knew this meant he wouldn’t take no for an answer.I thank him walking over to take my seat at the table, it kind of puzzled me that he didn’t ask me why I took so long. Maybe he was too focused on the washing up to notice, should I come up with an excuse or just leave it? It it be suspicious if I don’t?“Sorry I took so long, I got caught up in conversation wi

It was soon the weekend, the time where Austin and I need to head over to this meet up. I was still rather confused on what this event was supposed to be and how I would be involved in this, but I knew better than to tell Markus no. I was just getting ready in my rather fancy clothes, Austin told me Markus pulled him aside and told him he and I need to wear some fancy type clothes. At first, I didn’t know what he meant by fancy but I once I saw the outside of this meet up, it all became clear.I wore a black dress that went just below my knees, the top half was a corset like dress which was sheer, while the skirt flared out a tiny bit. I wore black heels while curling my hair at the button.I was trying to keep myself busy so I wouldn’t overthink what’s about to happen, it wasn’t just down to Markus but also worrying if they’ll find out I’m working with Jacob and what they’d do. I take one last look in the mirror at myself, I used as much makeup as I could to hide the cuts and bruises
The Step In Girlfriend Chapter Twenty-Eight
Austin sends me a little smile whilst looking away from Markus, we didn’t want him thinking we were talking about him in anyway.“If you can hear me, clear your throat” Jacob voice fills my ear, it did cause me to jump at first as I didn’t expect it to be that loud in my ear.I bring my hand up to my mouth clearing my throat, Austin looks over to check if I was okay which I send him a little smile. I was unsure if this was going to be challenging, I would need to listen to Jacob while also keeping track with what was happening around me.“Woah, that’s one of the best throat clears I’ve ever heard” Jacob says which does cause a smile to fill my lips, I didn’t know if I should take that as a compliment or not.“Why are you smiling?” Austin asks which breaks me from what was happening with Jacob, maybe I need to be more careful moving forward.“I’m just amazed at the beauty of this place, who would have imagined us two standing in a place like this?” I smile hoping that would be enough f
